It's pretty much as truggy as it'll ever get besides bigger tires.

Not only does it need larger tires, but wider a-arms. xxx-t a-arms will do the trick.

Defeneatly put a wing if you are making it a truggy. Those are the main exterior part that catches your eye and they are useful when going over 20mph.

ww.towerhobbies.com they have wing mounts and wings. Jus search 1/8 wing or wing and you'll find it eventually. Keep in mind you'll need to makit it mount with some creativity as it won't be a perfect fit

technicly(sp?) it is a truggy...they took a buggy and made it a truck so it is prettymuch already what you want it to be. mabe a wing but thats all you need, if you want it to look cool.
